A joint event hosted by Tewkesbury Borough Council and Stroud District Council

The retail business support programme was one of the first rural renaissance projects to receive funding. It is a 3 year project undertaken by a partnership of Tewkesbury Borough Council, Stroud District Council, Cotswold District Council and Business Link Gloucestershire.

Rural Renaissance is a South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) funding initiative which sub-regional partnerships can bid into. It forms part of the Agency's wider programme to implement a strategic and co-ordinated approach to rural development. The Rural Renaissance initiative will be delivered through local delivery partnerships and in this area it will be Gloucestershire First.
